About me
Whatever you’re going through, reaching out for therapy can feel like a big and sometimes overwhelming step.
You may be unsure what to expect, or whether therapy is right for you. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore what’s going on for you, at your own pace.
I work in an empathic and reflective way, supporting you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. You might be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, or feelings such as guilt, shame or blame. Together, we can gently explore these and begin to understand their impact on your life.
I am a qualified trauma counsellor, EMDR therapist and counselling supervisor, specialising in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and rape. I have experience working with adults, young people and children.
My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and more connected to yourself. Therapy can be an empowering process, supporting you to make informed choices and move towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
If you feel I may be the right therapist for you, I offer a free, no-obligation telephone consultation. This gives us the opportunity to talk about what you’re looking for and decide whether we would like to work together.
You are welcome to get in touch by phone or email to arrange this.
If you feel that I would be able to help you to restore connection to self and others and tackle those unresolved thoughts and feelings then please call me on 07856 548533 to arrange a free, no obligation telephone consultation.
From this conversation, we can decide if we would like to meet and work together. Alternatively please click here to send me an email

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
